 Grandchildren enjoyedAug 03, 2000
I purchased this sticker book for my 3 year old Grandson and he didn't put it down for the 3 days we were visiting. He even put it under his pillow at nap time and at night so he could "say good morning to the Dinosaurs."

 Ultimate Sticker Books not so hotJun 18, 2006
By S. Rauch

I really don't like the Ultimate Sticker Book series books. I've bought several for my 4 year-old twins and found them to be very difficult for the kids to use. The pages are plain, unexciting and text-heavy -- not good for pre-readers. For pre-schoolers I highly recommend the sticker books by Roger Priddy (My Giant Sticker Activity Book is a favorite).

 Old-fashioned and rather misleading...but the stickers might still entertain.Aug 16, 2009
By Science-Minded

This book is a collection of reusable stickers with some explanatory text. There are also a few double-paged backdrops--some rather sketchy-looking scenes with rocks and vegetation on which kids can arrange their stickers.
It's an odd collection of images. Many of them are rather uninspiring and old fashioned. It looks as though the main criterion for including a picture in this book was being an old, cheap, or public domain image. You won't find any feathered dinosaurs here. None of the feathered dinosaurs of China are included in the book. And the dromaeosaurids ("raptor" dinosaurs) are depicted as featherless, scaly creatures.
So these aren't the latest, vibrant, anatomically-detailed illustrations available. Indeed, if you look on the back cover you'll see an Iguanodon that could have been drawn in the 19th century. The dinosaur is using its tail as a prop for standing up, like a kangaroo.
The organization and text can be misleading. For example, there is a page devoted to birds that includes pterosaurs and bats. I assume that the author knows that pterosaurs and bats are not birds. But the text makes no attempt to clarify this point.
Elsewhere, the text notes that dinosaurs had scaly skin. It would be more correct to say that dinosaurs had a variety of skin textures, and that some even had feathers. At another point, the text notes that sabertoothed cats had "serrated" teeth. I don't know what the author is referring to unless she's talking about the carnassial teeth (which are in the back of the mouth and a common feature of mammalian carnivore dentition).
Some stickers are just odd. There is an image of a Sivapithecus skull. It looks good, I suppose, and the text correctly identifies Sivapithecus as an ancestor of the orangutan. Never mind the obvious question--what is this doing in a dinosaur book? The book doesn't even include a picture of a living animal (i.e., a reconstruction of Sivapithecus or a photo of an orangutan). So it's just a skull out of context.
Overall? This book has some entertainment value. Kids can peel the stickers off and put them in various positions against the backdrops. It's fun to look at--as long as you don't look too closely. If amazon allowed me to award half points, I'd give it 2.5 stars. But this book isn't a great source of accurate information--visual or otherwise--about extinct animals.

Great book for either boy or girls ages 5-10 years old. Very authentic looking dinosaurs. I recommend for any child into the "dinosaur craze".
